Possum (2018) Review: Trauma as Unheimliche Horror

Possum (2018) Review: Trauma as Unheimliche Horror

Matthew Holness’s Possum isn’t just another psychological horror film with a monster-as-metaphor. It’s a devastating study of childhood trauma and the unheimliche — the state of being without home, without self. Sean Harris’s performance as Philip makes you live inside the aftermath of abuse rather than simply observe it.
